The Tennessee Volunteers have been on a mission when it comes to the baseball side of things, as they have been looking to land many of the very best players in the class of 2027, and luckily for them, that is exactly what they have been able to do.
This has led many to believe that another national championship could come sooner rather than later, as they have been able to sign players from all over the country, including some of the best in-state prospects.
One of the in-state players that they landed is Gaven French, who is a pitcher for Heritage High School in the state of Tennessee. French has been a long-time Tennessee commit, and he is the most recent player to sign with the Vols.
Recently, French caught up with Vols on SI to tell everyone how he feels about signing with the baseball program. Here is what he had to say.

"It honestly means everything to me, being a local kid who dreams of wearing the orange. Iβm just super grateful and blessed to be a part of such an awesome state, fan base, play for this coaching staff, and everything in between," French said.
"Itβs super exciting. I love E and everything that he is doing here at Tennessee. Ever since my recruiting process, I've just continued to grow a strong relationship with him, so Iβm super pumped I get to play for a guy like him," French said.
"Tennessee was the obvious choice for me because of the culture and atmosphere they have there. I love how everything works and what the coaching staff is like. The coaching staff was also a huge reason why, when I was building my relationship with them, I knew I wanted to play for that staff," French said.
"My message would be that I bleed orange, and I will do anything to help bring another national championship back to Knoxville. Go Vols!" French said.
